Issues fixed

Installing on German Windows

There is a known issue with the International version of the game (as offered by GOG.com) where it will not run in the German version of Windows and request you to buy a German version of the game. To fix this, just change your Windows language setting to "Deutsch (Luxemburg)" instead of "Deutsch (Deutschland)".
